Adventure E.D. Washington Coast

In this entry I'll be talking about the trip the Adventure E.D. class did on the Washington coast. It started on October 12, 2008. The class arrived at the Adventure E.D. classroom at 6:00 a.m. on a Sunday. When everybody had arrived we headed for the bus. The bus left the middle school at 6:30 a.m. We went to the Keystone ferry. Once we got across it was about two hours until the ranger station. When we arrived at the ranger station we got our bear cans, which we stored our food in. After that it was time to go to the sight where the first group would be dropped off. I was in the first group along with Guy Sparkman, Isaac Rubenstein, Mitchell Hughes, Chase Collins, Sean Anderson, Korey Neilsin, Theo Witherspoon, Lillianna Stelling and Korena Moor. When we were going around a lake I through up, but I felt better afterwards. When we got to the beach we transferred our food into the bear cans. The other group got back on the bus and went to there destination. Every body in my group started hiking. The first stretch of beach was rocky sand. After about a half a mile we came to the first river that we had to cross. We kept walking and got to a spot call Hole In The Wall. It is a point with a giant hole going through it. The tide was up to high for us to go through it so we had to take the overland pass. Once we got over the overland pass we took a rest. We hiked for about another three miles going around points and rocky beaches. We took a couple more rests, the we finally got to the last point. As we looked around the point we could see our first camp. When we got there Guy and I set up our tent and then hung around the camp area. That night I had a chicken and rice mountain house meal. We made a fire and cooked muscles over it, then we went to sleep.

I can't wait untill i get to do Adventure Ed. Mr. B said you got a video of a bear and you guys saw a dead whale and some racoons attacked you guys. I would be pretty mad if some racoons took some of my stuff! I used to go on hikes with my dad but I don't very often any more.

That is cool that you saw raccoons. That is also cool that you saw a whale. Didn't you say that you kept a rib bone from it?. Are you excited for the California trip? I wish that I was in adventure ed now.

I heard that this trip was awesome, and I can't wait until I can go on the California trip. It is really cool that you guys got a video of a bear you saw. Racoons can get really annoying and dangeous if you have food. One time I was camping and I woke up with a raccoon under my bed. Good job on your blog so far.
